So the Save the Oaks people have set up camp among their beloved oaks. Walking by this Sunday morning and later this afternoon, I noticed about fifteen people hanging out, though not all of them had been there the entire day. They are doing hippie things: strumming an acoustic guitar, talking about trees, and sitting on their duffs.

Quite frankly, they kinda disturb me. I live right by the stadium and those trees. Seeing people gathering in that area is just plain creepy. But, eh, I like what they’ve done with the place. The yellow cautionary tape brings in a nice touch of school spirit.

EDIT: Now, on Monday, there are six different news vans parked alongside the oaks area. Must be a pretty slow newsday to spend a few hours videotaping people sitting in trees.
